Mirage of the Midnight Sun
A skywalker family fic.Slightly AU, follows the plot of the series but has a few tweeks here and there. Starts with Vader capturing Leia on EP IV. I cant remember much of the dialogue and some names of the officers and stuff, so forgive me if i have to improvise.
Chapter 10: Dreams Pass in Time
"Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope."
The message repeated itself over and over again in Luke Skywalker's head...and he was very confused and very curious, as to how the message got there, and who the sender was.... "Who was that? Who could that be?"...She's beautiful...he said softly, although the sound was muffled by his pillow. As if some part of him was afraid to be over heard, even though practically everyone in the household was asleep, except for him, that was. Luke could still remember this day's events...they needed new droids, so when the Jawas came by (the Lars were one of their regular customers), his Uncle took the opportunity...The rest were as they say, history, things he probably did not care to remember, especially that he was not able to go with his friends..."Oh well, should have known...no fun time for good ol' Luke"...He murmured disappointedly. Imagining Colos, Eirine and Biggs having such a great time up there on Beggar's Canyon, while he had been left with the extremely tiresome (meaning boring) job of cleaning the newly acquired droids. He stomped off, probably to keep from screaming in frustration after..."You can waste time with your friends when your chores are done. Now, come on, get to it!"...hearing what his Uncle Owen had said.
The new droids were pretty fine , by Luke's standards, as fine as recycled (most of them anyway) trash was bound to get. The gold one was C-3PO, Human-Cyborg Relations, a.k.a. Blabber-Mouth Extraordinaire, whom Luke had just given a nice, long Oil Bath...whoever made him was most certainly either over the hill or probably bored.Luke could not tell which but, he'd go for the second option...bored...But then it was fun for a while listening to that fellow's exploits, adventures...whatever you could call it...things he couldn't even do if his life depended on it...although after sometime the droid does get into your head...not to mention your nerves..."why do i always have to put up with things like this??"...Luke asked himself exasperatedly...now the other droid was a different story, not only this one seemed to have excellent control of his (it's) faculties...but more trustworthy than the first. The kind who won't leave you hanging on the caves of Curton, while being swarmed by Tusken Raiders...his Uncle mentioned that a lady he knew got attacked once by Tuskens and never came back alive...a close relative..or not...he couldn't remember...anyway, like always...Luke couldn't ask that much...every time he asked the specifics...Uncle Owen clammed up...no use asking really...he thought.
As his memory goes, something was stuck on the second droid's front disk...his name by the way was R2-D2, according to translations from C3PO...and when he pulled hard enough to release it...the message came through...the most beautiful girl (woman if you'd prefer) he ever saw came through with it...not only that, the catch was that the girl needed something from someone named Obi-Wan Kenobi...Luke wondered if that has anything to do with Old Ben Kenobi, the guy who lives up on the Dune Sea (and Luke's one time rescuer)."...well maybe Ben knows him..."...so he opened the matter with his Uncle Owen, now he realized that it was after all, a big mistake...his uncle got all agitated and ordered the droid's memory be erased...not to mention crushing his hopes of ever getting to the Academy...and so, Luke's walk to the memory lane for today ended...
Luke felt a yawn escape his mouth...he made no move to stifle it, for this time he was really sleepy, which was probably a good thing, since tomorrow would probably be the same as today, and the next tomorrow and the next tomorrow...unto eternity...maybe...If he doesn't get out sooner...not later....and sleep was something Luke treasured dearly, for it made him escape this less than pleasant reality which he found himself marooned in. He felt his eyelids droop...and so off to his dream world Luke Skywalker, son of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and Senator Padme Amidala (though he could not know that for now)...and twin brother to Imperial Senator turned Rebel Leader Leia Organa, who now awaits her fate on the Death Star (another thing Luke was robbed the right to know) goes.
He could not remember how long he slept...long enough he guessed, because the wind was on his face, ruffling his hair..and someone was calling him...him or somebody else...must be his aunt or uncle...his senses were blurred...and besides..."I don't want to wake up!"... but the voice persisted...a woman's voice, he surmissed...reluctantly, Luke opened his eyes...he was both awed and horrified by what he saw..."What is this place?!"..."How did I get here?!"...he thought out loud...Luke started to look around, and despite the panic-filled thoughts threatening to take over him, he found the place very soothing...not to mention very beautiful...lush gardens... and beyond by what he now figured out as a verranda was a large expanse of water...stretching as far as his eye could see and looming beyond were mountains...green with vegetation...he could not believe his eyes..."Now i must really be dreaming, it was just like the holocard Biggs showed me the other day!"...but for him the most awesome feature of this place was the water...he had lived on Tatooine all his life and old enough to know that water was something very rare and very dear...you don't waste it...sometimes people choose water over other people...as Mr. Fren, their neighbor by four miles, had said..."People you can find everywhere, water you don't."...of course Luke never really believed that...but he remembered Mr. Fren just the same. Just then he noticed that someone was standing at the northern part of the verranda...a woman...must be the owner of the voice...he thought...she was wearing the most exquisite dress he had ever seen...like that dress on the holomag Eirine showed him...Planetary Historical something... and he figured she must be beautiful, even though her back was to him...and she had long wavy brown hair...and brown eyes probably...he doesn't know how but he just knows that to be a fact...and somehow Luke felt connected to her...and felt that he should at least talk to her or something...he approached her cautiously, not wanting to startle...Luke was almost upon her, when she turned to face him..panic seized his senses.."I...uh...I...I'm sorry, I don't know how I got here..."...he stammered, but Luke noticed something strange...the woman was smiling...at him...no, not at him...but at someone behind...in fact the woman gazed through him..."She can't see me!"..he exclaimed in disbelief...and...neither can she hear him...
"You're back!"...the woman said and rushed toward Luke...and ran right through him...his gaze followed the direction she went to...Luke saw her embrace another strangely familiar figure...a tall, blond haired, young man...whose eyes were a piercing blue shade...probably two or three years older than him..."He looks just like me.."...well almost...he added silently...the young man murmured something and returned her embrace...the couple stayed that way for a considerable length of time..as though they haven't seen each other for a long while...Luke could feel their happiness...blissful...but also tinged with sadness and desperation...at last the couple broke their embrace and walked hand in hand toward Luke's direction...he would never remember their faces as this dream when he wakes up...but for now, he could see that they were a handsome pair...truly made for each other..Luke silently wished them luck...and felt that he was somehow a part of their happiness...as the verranda faded from his sight...and back into oblivion...back into the deep recessess of his mind...certainly, dreams pass in time...or do they?
